How to Get Involved

The Exceptional Foundation relies on more than 500 volunteers each year through service days, corporate partnerships, and daily visits to our programs. Long after their volunteer service is complete, countless volunteers come back every year to visit their favorite participants. We welcome them as part of our family!
